? POV
I was running. Low branches and briar bushes were scraping at my feet as I tried desperately to out-run the person I assumed was chasing me.
I had been running for a while now, seemed like hours.
They had given up a while back but I still remained cautious.
The measly scraps of cloth that covered my body were slowly being torn to shreds as the deep woods ripped me to pieces.
I had no idea where I was headed. All I knew was I had to get away.
Away from those heartless people who treated their captors like meat on a belt-line.
The only thing I did know was that I was approaching hills and after that, a huge mountain top that overlooked a valley and a river. Maybe if I sought cover in the mountains, it would be harder for them to find me. To abuse me more than they had.
My steps faltered a little as I started the climb uphill.
The more I ran, the more tired I became and I knew that if I didn't find a safe haven soon, I'd pass out in the cold, dark woods that surrounded me.
After what seemed like hours, I had lost all hope of finding anyone within a mile radius and felt my legs becoming weaker by the minute. The cold was overwhelming, making my lungs feel as if hot pokers were stabbing them with every footfall.
Just when I could take no more, I could faintly see a light coming towards me up ahead and rather than run, like my mind screamed, I collapsed to the ground.
I knew I was a crying heap of mess but at that moment, I didn't care. When I felt like I could breathe no more, I resolutely laid in a ball on the ground and closed my eyes.
The blackness took over me as soon as I started praying, 'Please save me, Please save me.'
Okay, authors note here people I don't know how long this story will be or how often it will be updated. I merely listened to a song today on the radio and got sudden inspiration for a story. It just jumped out at me from out of nowhere and I just had to run with it.
This story is E/B and will feature a HEA. But beware, all good things come to those that wait. So with that being said, this Edward isn't the most welcoming guy in the bunch and Bella isn't going to be at her strongest anytime soon. They will clash, argue, fight, etc. (Not physically, of course) and there will be plenty of times when you just want to smack both of them in the head while also wanting to cry for them.
I have no graphics/banners for this story yet, so if you feel compelled to make a few *hint, hint*, feel free! I see no need to get a beta at this time so I will just roll with it until the need arises (if it does).
So until then, enjoy this ride that I'm writing and I hope you enjoy it! After a few chapters and more of the story are told, I will then share what song inspired this fic. It probably wouldn't make a difference whether I said now but I like the element of surprise!
